Football will not be the same again after Coronavirus – FIFA boss

FIFA
president Gianni Infantino has admitted football will not be the same again after
the Coronavirus Pandemic that has ravaged the world.

The disease has killed over 53,000 with over a million cases
worldwide.

Major football tournaments and leagues have been put on hold and
football clubs across the world have been forced to make savings by placing
staff on unpaid leave with the salaries of top stars slashed.

“We
would all like to have football again tomorrow, but unfortunately that is not
possible, and no one in the world to date knows when we will be able to play
again like before,” said Infantino
at a teleconference with the South American Confederation (Conmebol).

“For the first time, football is not the most
important thing.

“Health comes first and this must continue until
this disease is overcome.

“Our
world and our sport will be different when we get back to normal. We have
to make sure that football survives and that it can thrive again.”
